One ot the letters mvillions a singular a ie<(tote respecting Louts, wi,ich shows the natural mildness of his disposition, and his desiie to sof en, as - much as he could,.; t e ferocious De . - crees'of BfJONAPARTE. It is stated, that the Com mapder of our squadron, off :the Texel, had lately sent in a flag of truce; obtain the release of a fishing-boat which had been captured by the enemy. Louts repli,-d, through the Commtnyd.er .of the Dutch squadron, that he 'boat having got into the hands of the French, it was impogsible for him to order her ' to be restored; but be promised, 'that - Upon her coming to be so)d by auaion, he ‘t otlld hiinself hny her in, and send her back; or, if that conld not be done, to purchase and send ba - Ck a. boat as neatly as nearly resembling her as could be procured. *The letter to which we are:allaiing, also mentions the report of,MAssoNA having b.;en (Ideated; -but, for - the reasons we gave yesterday, we are not inclined to be lieve it..
